What nonsense are you ignorant americans talking about? There are many rags to riches stories in India. And India society is becoming more liberal everyday. You nerds to get out of your house sometime and visit the world, and not rely on what you see on TV.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53554cba69beddcb56083f79Nobody!Mon, 21 Apr 2014 12:52:10 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53554cba69beddcb56083f79
I have to disagree with you. Many of such children are forced into selling or directed by their family members. In this case the kid himself found out a profitable living by his own. The fact that he is so dedicated in multiplying his income tells us that his is really different from others.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53554a546bb3f79810a35758NavsMon, 21 Apr 2014 12:41:56 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53554a546bb3f79810a35758
What an ignorant piece of reporting. Its quite obvious the author is not too familiar with India! There are several thousands of kids on India's streets who are quite entrepreneurial and street smart. But that is their way of life to eek out a living. Am happy that this kid Kiran is doing well for himself and some NGO ought to provide him with some help asap. But declaring that the kid will become a billionaire one day is a far stretch of exaggeration! Joe, stop making up such stories for the sake of clicks and educate yourself before writing such articles.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53554743eab8ea6d7dad5091UmmMon, 21 Apr 2014 12:28:51 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53554743eab8ea6d7dad5091
"Probably he'll become a billionaire. When he does, this is the kind of story people will point to and note that it was obvious all along."
Sorry Joe, but I actually laughed when I read that last paragraph. So poorly written...http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5355437f6bb3f78d7aa35747TearfulMon, 21 Apr 2014 12:12:47 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5355437f6bb3f78d7aa35747
Pure wholesome click-bait from Shameless Joe.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5355035c6da8112216c9e140IndianMon, 21 Apr 2014 07:39:08 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5355035c6da8112216c9e140
I live in India. There are hundreds of thousands of kids like him all over the country at railway stations, bus stands etc. You find them literally everywhere. They earn more than he does and they do it for survival. Besides, he has done nothing extraordinary. If your story is to be believed, it would mean India would have hundreds of thousands of billionaires over the next decade. Stop being an attention who*e to get people to visit your site.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5354e25decad041a0e083f87D0909Mon, 21 Apr 2014 05:18:21 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5354e25decad041a0e083f87
Either that or he'll get stabbed in a back alleyhttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/53548e8a6da8119863dd480aAlan Carl BrownSun, 20 Apr 2014 23:20:42 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53548e8a6da8119863dd480a
This is exactly the kind of learning experience that many people seem to hate. No sanctioned authority figure to tell you how. I remember having that same feeling when I realized I could shovel snow for an hour in 1978 and earn 5 dollars.
Selling things - yuck - even though most of us will be selling ourselves for the rest of our lives. We are all traders, but some like to pretend otherwise or that somehow exchanging goods and services with each other is somehow immoral.
Then there is government not getting its cut. What an outrage. Here's a kid striving to do for himself and ultimately he benefits society more than those who've given up and just do whatever adults tell them to do.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5354843369bedd000edc96bbIn Rupees?Sun, 20 Apr 2014 22:36:35 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5354843369bedd000edc96bb
If he is 12 and starts making real money, more than the equivalent of $12US, he will be mugged.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5354739decad04f873dc96b5Korda GyorgySun, 20 Apr 2014 21:25:49 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5354739decad04f873dc96b5

Why not just reprint the text of Russell Conwell's 1890 "Acres of Diamonds" speech, Joe? It makes about as much sense as your assertions about a 12-year-old Indian boy.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53544880ecad04704adc96c1Animal SpiritsSun, 20 Apr 2014 18:21:52 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53544880ecad04704adc96c1
No he won't. The benefits of social cooperation and a system of fair play are missing. America is on a mad dash to join these corrupt countries of insiders and outsiders. Go spend some time out of safe middle class fantasyland Joe. It's not like a day at Sunday school everywhere. Then again, maybe he's a sociopath that can climb out.
